This really isn't rocket science, guys. We have half the airline pilots in this country WILLING to work for regional wages. THAT'S why we have half the pilots in this country WORKING for regional wages. And until that changes, the pressure on mainline wages will never end.
The reason WHY is because SCOPE was relaxed to allow those jobs! Get the flying in house and you can work to improve the pay and ensure all planes are flown by Delta pilots. Once scope allows the planes to go else where we dont have control on the rates and thus just enabled more reasons to not give us payraises.
SCOPE line must be drawn and a permanent cap must be put in place unless we can regain some flying. In which case we get that flying back and still put a permanent cap on RJs.
DELTA PAINT = DELTA PILOTS!!!
